Rob Belushi on Ruby Streak's Second City Podcast
How fortuitous that just this morning the Bastion was on the treadmill at the gym watching The Blues Brothers on Comedy Central (not so funny with no sound and just closed captioning, by the way) and thinking about Chicago comedy alum, and possible future contributions by their offspring.
Second-generation Chicago funnyman Rob Belushi (son of Jim, nephew of John) is Second City musical director Ruby Streak's subject in her 20th podcast. (Archive of her podcasts here.) Listen to the clip here, wherein Streak, who's been with Second City since 1977, chats with young Belushi about "punctuality, travels through the comedy circuit and Mel Gibson's mug shot."
EDIT: More on Belushi. "The Adventure Club," every Tuesday at 10:30 at the Playground Theater (until October 10), will feature a rotating guest cast of stand-ups, improv performers, and sketch troupes, including Rob Belushi, Thomas Middleditch, Jon Barinholtz, Jason Hodge, Brendan McGowan, and Dean Carlson.

This podcast went up over 2 weeks ago...great scoop though. You want real news? Maribeth Monroe is going to LA in a few weeks-thus creating an open female slot on the mainstage. Plus they're running auditions for TourCO.
